Dairy Quiz Bowl
Competition in the 4-H Dairy Bowl encourages a 4-H member to develop a more complete knowledge of
dairy animals and related subjects. This contest provides an educational dairy program for all dairy project
members, including those who may not own a dairy project animal, and provides a way to develop alertness
and self-confidence. The Dairy Bowl is a “quiz bowl” competition where all questions deal with dairy
topics. Teams of four members compete with each other in giving oral answers to questions posed by a
moderator. Teams receive points for correct answers and may lose points for incorrect answers. The team
with the highest final score is the winner. The contest is organized on a double elimination basis with
winning teams advancing into further rounds until a champion team emerges. Sources of questions are 4-H
dairy project literature, Hoard’s Dairyman publications and other dairy resources identified within the
references section of this document.
The 2019 Quiz Bowl date has not yet been set, but anticipated it will be 1st of February. For information on
how to be part of the 4-H Dairy Bowl Team and to participate in this event, please contact Dairy Project

Welcome to Wisconsin 4-H Projects!
A “project” is simply a topic that you can explore. On the following project pages, you’ll find descriptions and
resources on a wide variety of major topics . . . from art to woodworking, from computers to rabbits, from
clothing to small engines.
Select a project and you’ll usually find:
descriptions of project curriculum
4-H events and activities that support the project
county fair exhibiting ideas and suggestions
Internet links to related sites
sources of more information.
As you explore, 4-H thinks you’ll learn more than just subject matter. You’ll learn “life” skills, too. These are
valuable skills, such as understanding yourself, communicating and working with others, problem solving and
decision making . . . skills that you can use the rest of your life.
If you are in 4-H, the projects and curriculum listed on these pages are only recommendations. Not all these
projects may be offered in your 4-H club, county or state program, which may use different curriculum for pro-
jects, too. But these pages are great places to start for ideas, so browse away!
